Rahu enters Cancer and Ketu

Rahu enters Cancer on 9th September, 2017, where it remains up to 23rd March, 2019. During this time Ketu will remain in Capricorn. During the course of the stay of these planets in the signs Cancer and Capricorn the axis will be stationary and will create serious malefic influences at: 

-0 degree starting from 8th June, 2017, to 7th October, 2017; 
-20 degree from 13th January, 2018, to 3rd April, 2018; 
-11 degree from 27th June, 2018, to 26th September, 2018;
-2 degrees from 10th December, 2018, to 10th March, 2019.

Those natives, who have most effective points of the ascendant around the stationary degrees or have any natal planet(s) at these degrees in even signs, will have to be not only very careful but also perform the astral remedies regularly for sailing through this time without much problems.
